Javascript Print Function
The Javascript print function performs the same operation as the print
option that you see at the top of your browser window or in your browser's "File" menu. The Javascript print function
will send the contents of the webpage to the user's printer.
Many believe this function to be worthless, but there are many computer
users that do not know their way around a computer all that well and it can
sometimes create a more user friendly experience when you provide as many
helpful features as possible.
Javascript Print Script - window.print()
The Javascript print function window.print() will print the current
web page when executed. In this example script we will be placing the function
on a Javascript button that will perform the print operation when the onClick
event occurs.
HTML & Javascript Code:
<form>
<input type="button" value="Print This Page" onClick="window.print()" />
</form>
Display:
If you click this button you should be prompted with whatever application
your computer uses to handle the printing functions.
